End of Blog

Well, looks like this blog's been dead for quite a while. I'll keep it up as a record of my student work, but from now on any new work that I post will go on http://nathanhibberd.blogspot.com/

11 Second Club February Entry

Well, it's been a while since I posted anything here, but I'm entering this month's 11 Second Club competition, so I've finally got something new here. This is for the February competition and the sound clip is from the movie "Sneakers".




If I have time before the end of the month I may go back and polish it up a bit.

Lip Sync Practice

Alright, it's been a long time since I posted anything here. Since the last post I've graduated from college and got a job as a junior animator for Nerd Corps.

I haven't done much animation in the last while so for practice to brush up before I start working I decided to do a lip sync and time myself. It ended taking me about 3 hours and 50 minutes for this animation.





The sound clip is from Arrested Development.

Bowling Vignette With Full Sound

I already posted the bowling vignette that I made for this month's CGTalk animation challenge with some sound. But the sound that was there was very minimal since it was for my demo reel, which has music that will fill in the quiet spots. This video is the non-demo reel version, for which I finished putting sounds in.

FK/IK Blend Tutorial

I've finished another tutorial. This one is for using FK/IK Blend in XSI. You can see it here.

Demo Reel v02

I've added sound effects to my demo reel. Here's the updated version:

Bowling Vignette With Sound

For the sake of my demo reel I've added some sounds to the bowling vignette that I did. In the version of the video shown here it's got large sections of silence, but my demo reel has music so the limited amount of sounds should work okay on there.

I've also re-rendered it with a lighter shader on the ball, because the ball was pretty much pitch black before. There was also some harsh specular at one part that has been removed.

Demo Reel v01

The awkward silence is finally over! For my demo reel now has music, and with that this is pretty much the first version of my demo reel that could be called complete, which is why I called it "v01" even though there have been some earlier versions posted on this blog already.
